Do Not Lose Focus Because Of The Threat

One of the most difficult aspects of walking with God, is not becoming distracted due to the threats, difficulties, and sickness we may encounter.
When you know that you are victory, the enemy hates you and wants you to think of defeat!
I understand and realize; yes, we experience times of weakness, we experience times of depression, we may even experience a time of giving up, but when you keep your eyes on purpose and realize that God has already gone before you, He has already provided the victory, then you will realize who you are in God does not change!
How many times have you come out of a victorious moment in your life and hear of some troubling news and become fearful, doubtful, scared and depressed?
How can we allow the threat to illuminate more than The Promise?
When we know that God has given us Power to endure the race!
He has given us The Holy Spirit, The Comforter, The Guider, The Intercessor; He teaches us everything we need to know, we just need to remain fixed on Him and realize that because we are Kingdom Dwellers, there is no such thin as defeat, we always win!
I cannot focus on the news, nor the current state of events, so much that it causes me to become stagnant and fearful; I know too much about My God, Who sits high and looks low; how does He look low? In me and through me!
Therefore I remain steadfast in God and what threatens me, will ultimately be the thing that will promote me!
God has already finished your purpose, you just need to focus on the journey ahead and not worry about the obstacles and distractions!
The Jezebel spirit spoke a word that Elijah not only heard, but he saw it! And when he saw it, he felt defeated, depleted and left alone. . . Elijah wanted to die!
God had already ordained Elijah for the Journey!
When you realize that God’s Ordination cannot be changed, it cannot be hindered, it cannot be dis-ordained; because God has established you, there is nothing that can stop you!
Because you have an understanding of who you are, you have no other choice but to See The Promise, because you know that His Promises are Yes and Amen!
Therefore; as the Angel told Elijah. . . “Arise and eat. . .”
I get up when I feel like I have been knocked down!
I smile and rejoice when the threats seems to increase daily
Because I know that My God is real and He has given me everything I need, therefore, the weapon formed will not prosper!
I know that my peace will not leave me - Because God has found me and encircled me, He keeps me and instructs me!
It is up to me to follow the instructions ! Proverbs 15:5 (NKJV) 5  A fool despises his father's instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent.
Jezebel does not have any power, only the power of persuasion thru her words, so if do not focus on the threat, you will not succumb to the temptation, because you realize that 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
So many want others to believe in their opinion, want you to believe what they think you should do and be, don’t focus on that, God has given you Power to be who He called you to be!
When you hear the threat; turn away and keep moving, do not allow your heart to entertain that; James 1:14-15 (NKJV) 14  But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15  Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
Elijah wanted to be removed from purpose, because he felt as if he was alone 1 Kings 19:10 (NKJV)10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
Know this; you are never alone, for God has already said that He will not leave you, but you have to see that and not the threat!
I have made my choice to trust God fully, I have handed everything over to God; therefore, the enemy can kick me in the head, attempt to beat me with those threats; although I may be bruised, busted, sometimes disgusted, but I will never be broken!
My Father, Who has empowered me for this Journey, has allowed me to see The Light that shines within me, so my focus is not moved from Him because of a threat, because He loves me too much!
The threat wants to rob you of The Knowledge of God, how He has empowered you to win and over come all things that come up against you!
Elijah saw the threat and though that he was alone!
Thought that he would be destroyed!
But how many know that God always provide; even in the wilderness, God made some food for him, so that he will be strengthen to carry on!
In this season believers, your trust in God must be fortified, you must sanctify yourself, surrendering all to God and His way, and rest in knowing that Greater is in you!
Yes, it is difficult to see encouraging words, in the midst of the threat; Luke 22:42-44 (NKJV) 42  saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." 43  Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44  And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Jesus came to fulfill The Promise, so that you and I may have a right to the Tree Of Life!
I have come too far for me to run and hide, God I will remain in Your Promises because my Hope is in You; come what may, I know that You have finished The Work!
